Yes...Gears of Wars looks good but its not eye popping unbelievability like say Crysis is. The textures are low resolutions and since its played in 3rd person view..the developer had the advantage of keeping close up shots from being too close up if you know what I mean. Nice way to hide low rez textures from being to up close an personal revealing its ugliness....and why in this day an age do dead enemy bodies still disappear in a fps? Whats worse is the cheap blood splat in place of it. I want to walk over dead bodies. At least in RFOM dead bodies actually stay and RFOM has tons more enemies.

I was expecting too much for Gears of War...but again the hype only revealed dissapointment.

Say what you want. Bottom line is:

GeOW looks damn good. And that's all I care about.

Not quite, some parts look great, but it ain't quite there yet. Crysis of course looks better, but I agree with Rob, saying Gears looks "like a joke" is an exaggeration.

There were gameplay considerations for making GOW third person, like wider angle views to see enemies sneaking up on you, so don't jump to conclusions.

And also... You're face is low rez!!! *runs away*

No I was just kidding, but a medium end PC can't outdo a 360 or PS3, but yeah a HIGH end gaming PC can be on par or better than any console.

I'm not saying it looks bad. I'm just saying you get some direct screenshots to more accurately see the actual graphics. There could be any number of factors modifying that picture, like camera motion, lighting, glare, etc...

First off, GeOW has won so many game of the year awards I've lost count!!

Gamespot game of the year

AIAS-8 awards

Gamefly awards- 2 award

E3 2006 awards-

Crysis will not win game of the year this year on gamespot or ign.  You can quote me on that!! Bioshock, MassEffect, Halo3, and even Spore will be rated higher then crysis!!

Do you think your current computer can run Crysis maxed out at the max resolution?I highly doubt it.:(Crysis looks like real-life?Come on now.We wont have a photorealistic game for years and years to come,from the lighting,animations,detail...etc.,not for years.Crysis comes close,but its not exactly CGI.When you shoot somebody in Crysis does it show the punture and every peice of detail in that hole?Not from what ive seen you cant.

at the last demonstration, they were running crysis highest settings at 60FPS, with a single GTX..... but they were running it at a massive resolution (over twice that of 1080P) Im confident that even a GTS will max out crysis easy at a standard resolution

I didnt know that,Ill take you word for it.The game seems to be very optimized so its believable.When you say GTX do you mean 8800GTX?Anyways,real life has an unlimiteless resolution,unlimitless draw distance,unlimitless anti-aliasing(whatever the word would be for real life),unlimitless HDR and whatever else.I doubt if any game will ever match real-life visuals exactly,its very crazy to say a game in todays age,Crysis,looks like real-life when in reality its pretty far off.:(Crysis doesnt look exactly like real-life,no matter how you spin it.If you use a sniper to look at the ground in Crysis,would it look the same as it would in real-life?How about...can you see ever vapor particle in Crysis if you were to use a microscop,or could you see each and every particle of a dust if you were to just blow it through a room?Games are faaaaar far away from this amount of detail,its gonna take some time.

So you're saying that if you took a screen shot of that, and a picture of a real jungle, someone would not be able to tell the difference? Are you insane?
